Supporting ambitious entrepreneurs and startups

The government wants to help ambitious startups and other entrepreneurs to
grow quickly. Startups are new businesses that have only recently been launched.
Fast access to networks and finance are vital for them.

Ambitious Entrepreneurship Action Plan

The government is supporting entrepreneurs, including startups, through its Ambitious Entrepreneurship Action Plan. It is important that they have better access to capital, knowledge, innovation and the global market. To achieve this and help entrepreneurs, the government has set aside €75 million to:

provide early-stage finance so entrepreneurs can research whether an idea or product is technically feasible and suitable for the market;

strengthen the international position of startups and growing businesses. And attract foreign startups to the Netherlands through the StartupDelta initiative;
